Diva.

Went to Columbus the other day to spend some gift cards for places we don't have here at my local mall. Picked up a beautiful new MAC lipstick that I'm wearing in these photos called Diva. I've been wanting a dark, wine/burgundy color for quite sometime and this one is perfect! I was torn between Diva and Dark Side because they're essentially the same color, but Diva is a matte finish and Dark Side was an amplified. I went with Diva though because I didn't want so dark of a color sliding around on my lips and the matte finish helps it stay on long and last.

Also picked up...these trousers? So strange for me! I've never owned trousers before, but 2014 must be the year that I apparently do. I was surprised that I liked them because I generally don't really like how I look in any pants, but these work well, gliding over my wider thighs and hips. Excited to explore styling options with these! I also got my dream pair of high waisted jeans at Forever21, as well, and can't wait to show you all!

I was just thinking today how awesome it is taking portraits nearly ever day. Not in a conceited way like I loveeee seeing myself, but I just think it's so cool to see the progression of my body and face as I get older. I think about my grandparents and even my parents who have so few photos of themselves throughout their lives, and that makes me sad. I want to have lots of photos to show my children and grandchildren of me when I was younger. I think style and what you wear says a lot about who you are, and it'll be awesome that they'll get to see my personality just through photos like these. Sounds dumb, but I cherish all of these blog photos. They are this snapshot in time that represents a memory, a moment. Glad I'll always have a place to store these and remember them.

I literally just bought a pair of polka dot jeans that are SO similar to the ones your wearing! you styled them flawlessly! Can't wait to see more outfits with these pants because I need some inspiration!

Cute outfit! I think it's awesome too! Although I like more of the fact that my children and grand children will have my words too! What was going on in my life, what I was interested in, my dorky clothes ( for they will surely be dorky by then as with previous generations! ) Blessings, NatashaA modest fashion blog: Www.natashaatkerson.blogspot.com

I love my high waisted jeans from Forever 21. I'm sure you'll love yours too! I've been looking for a backup pair for ages now. I'm in love with your polka dot pants though. You'll be able to remix these a ton of different ways. They're adorable on you!

You look like such a power woman in this outfit :) I have some trousers like these from F21 and I love them. And I agree with you that it's fun to have so many pictures that capture little moments in our lives.
